One of my Missouri friends called me back last evening. He has recanted. He said he’s still pissed at Akin but he had decided to go ahead and vote for him because he can’t stand McCaskill. It’s still 72 days until Election Day. Akin dude just might pull it out. Damn, that would be the shock wave felt ‘round the world.
He might. But if he does it will be in spite of not because of the gop.
For the sake of discussion, let’s just assume that Todd pulls this off. This guy has a fantastic record. If willard was even one third as good of a record as this guy, i’d be on the willard wagon. So let’s say Todd gets elected anyway. Can you imagine how fantastic he could be? A rock ribbed socon with NO political debts owed other than to the people of MO. Gosh, he might even push the infanticide issue in the senate. Wouldn’t that be something new and unusual.
Personally I would have preferred Mme. Steelman, but this guy has some real potential. And he’s made it abundantly clear that he’s staying put. So we really have 2 choices: support someone who has a long conservative record or hand it to ma mccaskill. An easy choice in my book.
